Mr. and Mrs. Brubaker are Royal Entertainers

In my grandmother's notes she mentions parties that were given by her parents. Notice of one such party was published in the local newspaper (unidentified article in a family scrapbook, no date) it would have been in the early 1900's:

Last Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Brubaker royally entertained about thirty young people at their home seven miles north of this city in honor of their cousin, Miss Pearl Gibson, of this city.

The elegant country home was well lighted and beautifully decorated for the occasion. As the time for their assembly drew near their merry voices could be heard ringing through the clear air and all were prepared for a good time.

The evening was pleasantly spent in social chat, games and music furnished by the Pumpkin Vine band. At 12 o'clock a dainty menu was served consisting of cake, pie, ice tea and Italian cream.For the crowd we will say that Mr. and Mrs. Brubaker are royal entertainers. -- A GUEST.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.

I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com

This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
